Inspired

ABSTRACT

Inspired is a hair care product for daily use on the hair. It is to be worn on the head on top of the hair. The design is a scarf/bonnet for the purpose of hair maintenance. The words scarf/bonnet mean that it can be worn as a scarf or a bonnet, either really close and fitting for styles such as wraps or looser for curls to waves and other styles. The scarf/bonnet aids in keeping the hair in place especially during the hours of sleep. This is the time when hair breakage is prominent from the shifting and constant brushing of the hair against the pillow. So this scarf/bonnet unlike any other for nighttime use will stay on the head to keep the hair protected and fits comfortably on the head. The design of the scarf/bonnet comes in three characteristically different modifications, one for light sleepers, one mild sleepers or for those who considerably toss and turn and the other is for those that are heavy, hard (very active) sleepers. While the basic design—fabric of the scarf/bonnet is useful to retain hair moisture, allows the hair to “breath”, it reduces the occurrence/onset of hair tangles, and breakage that can occur specifically at night.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

[0001] The page listed with Arabic numeral 1, is the scarf/bonnet forlight sleepers. The top picture depicts two strings (the pulling device)in the front portion of the scarf/bonnet coming out of individual holes(0.25 inches) that will allow a fit to comfort. Then the drawingdirectly under it shows the mechanism of how the scarf is kept in placeby means of pulling, tying it into a simple bow. The page with Arabicnumeral 2, following simply shows the back portion of the scarf/bonnet,no special features.

[0002] The page listed with Arabic numeral 3, is the scarf/bonnet formild-medium sleepers who do an appreciable amount of tossing and turningduring the night. The top drawing depicts two strings (the pullingdevice) in the front portion of the scarf/bonnet coming out ofindividual holes. Each individual string now has pieces of Velcroattached at the ends and there is Velcro placed (approximately 1 and ½to 2 inches) along the outer edges of the scarf/bonnet away from theholes that the strings come out of. This allows a greater fit tocomfort. The drawing directly below this one shows how the strings aretaken and lapped/crossed over each other and the Velcro that is on theends of the strings is snapped into on the front portions of thescarf/bonnet. The page with Arabic number 4 shows the back portion ofthe scarf/bonnet, no special features.

[0003] The page listed with Arabic numeral 5, is the scarf/bonnet forheavy sleepers. The top drawing shows the sectional views of thescarf/bonnet. Starting from the arrow pointing to the right (I). Thissection of the scarf/bonnet is the front section it is consist of twostrings with a block/rows of Velcro along them (shading of dark solidlines). The next section with the arrows pointing from the left andright (II) is the side view of the scarf/bonnet. This portion has a loopand Velcro (shading of dark solid lines) is attached to the surface ofthe string. The last section of the scarf/bonnet is depicted by thearrow pointing to the left (III) this is the back section of thescarf/bonnet there are no special features. Directly underneath thisdrawing is a drawing showing what the scarf/bonnet looks like when ithas been snapped into place for use. The arrow pointing to the right(I), the front view of the scarf/bonnet is basically overlapped/onestring crossing the other. Next, the arrows going left to rightillustrate the side view of the scarf/bonnet and how the stings with theVelcro/the Velcro in the front is taken and snapped into the Velcro onthe side portion of the scarf/bonnet. This will allow a maximum degreeof fit and comfort. Then, the back view denoted by the arrow point theleft (III) is shown but has no special features.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0004] Inspired:

[0005] The body of the design inspired can be made out of either thefabric silk or polyester. Accordingly, the steps in the process of thedesign of the scarf/bonnet are as follows. A piece of silk or polyesteris taken and measured to around 17×16 inches. Small holes 0.25 inchesare put into the center front (outer) portion of the fabric that are 1and ½ inch to 2 inches apart. Next, the edges of the material arerounded and another piece of silk or polyester or, of an alternatematerial is measured out as 9 inches or approximately 23 cm (this willbe the string/the pulling device to give the scarf/bonnet a comfortablefit on the head). The string is taken and placed along the inner edgesof the fabric and pulled through the holes that are on the center frontportion. Then, the inner edges of the fabric are rolled up/tucked inabout ½ inch and sown in place. The string is next taken and pulled tothe contour of the head/to the shape of the head and tied into a bow inthe front (Drawings 1,2). Then again, this last step does not occur withthe string being pulled and tied into a bow instead Velcro is placed oneach side 1 and ½ to 2 inches away from the small holes in the front ofthe scarf/bonnet. So there is a small hole on each side and, a piece ofVelcro about 2 inches from it. The mechanism/manner of use is that thestrings that have the Velcro attached to there ends in the front of thescarf/bonnet are taken and pulled, overlapped/crossed and/or tied and,simply snapped into the Velcro that is 1 and ½ to 2 inches from it onthe front (Drawings 3, 4).

[0006] Alternatively, Velcro is still placed onto the ends of thestrings but now takes up a larger area of the string (1-1 and ½ inches)and, is positioned on the side portion (view) of the scarf/bonnet(string) not the front. That is from the temple area to the area abovethe ear a band of Velcro is centered with a width of 0.5-0.75 inches,and a length of 2-2.5 inches is sown in place. Additionally, there areno holes that the strings come out of instead there are loops on bothsides of the scarf/bonnet that the string is pulled through. Therefore,the string consists of the all portions of the Velcro (that on thestring ends and side portions). The mechanism/manner of use of thisdesign is that the string (still 9 inches) is taken and placed into theloops on both sides of the scarf/bonnet. It is pulled through and thestrings that have the Velcro attached to there ends in the front arepulled, crossed, and then snapped into the Velcro that is centered onthe side portion of the scarf/bonnet (string) with a width of 0.5-0.75inches and a length of 2-2.5 inches (Drawing 5).

What I claim as my invention is the mechanism/manner or, method in whichthe scarves/bonnets depicted in the drawings are kept in place, made tostay on the head:
 1. The scarf/bonnet for light sleepers (the pg/drawinglisted with Arabic numeral 1) is kept in place by means of two strings(coming out of individual holes) that are pulled from the front portionof the scarf/bonnet and subsequently tied into place (a simple bow). 2.The scarf/bonnet for mild-medium sleepers (the pg/drawing listed withArabic numeral 3) is kept in place, made to stay on the head by means oftwo strings (coming out of the front of the scarf/bonnet) that haveVelcro attached to their ends. Which are taken and pulled,overlapped/crossed and/or tied and, simply snapped into the Velcro thatis on the front portions of the scarf/bonnet.
 3. The scarf/bonnet forheavy sleepers (the pg/drawing listed with Arabic numeral 5) is kept inplace, made to stay on the head by means of a string (with Velcroattached to the ends) that is taken and placed into the loops on bothsides of the scarf/bonnet. The string is then pulled through and theVelcro attached to/at the ends is pulled, crossed, and then snapped intothe Velcro that is centered on the side portion of the scarf/bonnet(string).
